Ultimate organizer handbag

ABSTRACT

The present invention provides a handbag equipped with a zipper for opening a section of the bag located between the front and interior walls thereof. When this section of the bag is unzipped, the faces of said front and interior walls are exposed and permit a user to obtain various handbag items from pockets attached to said faces. The bag may be carried in the hand or over the shoulder as a result of a loop and ring arrangement which are connected by an adjustable strap and buckle arrangement. Other sections of the bag contain loop and ring arrangements for rapidly obtaining keys, a pager, a cosmetic pouch or the like. By virtue of the present invention, all contents of the inventive bag can be easily and quickly accessed by a user with one easy motion, while the bag is on or off his shoulder, without placing the bag on a flat surface. The inventive bag contains a foldable flap located at the bottom of the bag which provides a bottom wall to the bag when the zipper is unzipped. This flap may be equipped with rigid and/or hinged inserts to prevent the front and interior walls of the bag from collapsing shut while the zipper is unzipped and the bag is in an open position. Alternatively, these inserts likewise maintain the front and interior walls of said bag in an open or closed position as desired so that the contents of the bag may be easily obtained and the bag may be easily zipped or unzipped. A rigid and/or hinged insert may also be fitted within the front and/or an interior wall of the bag to further maintain the front and interior walls of said bag in an open or closed position as desired.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] This application is a continuation-in-part application of application Ser. No. 09/504,110 filed Feb. 15, 2000. The Ultimate Organizer invention relates to “handbags,” “shoulder bags” or “bags” for carrying a multitude of personal or other items. Handbags and their use have been well known in the prior art. Handbags have had hand straps, shoulder straps and/or back straps. They have generally been large enclosures, sometimes with separated spaces, sometimes not, sometimes with defined compartments, oftentimes not.

[0002] The following described bags are exemplary of the prior art, but are distinguishable from the invention disclosed herein as noted in the description below.

[0003] U.S. Pat. No. 5,829,502: This '502 handbag comes closest in concept to the inventive Ultimate Organizer, but does not begin to provide its functions. First, the contents of this prior art '502 handbag cannot be accessed while the bag is being worn by a user. Because it opens in half, it must be placed on a surface and laid flat to provide content access. While the user is wearing the herein described invention, the Ultimate Organizer, in a vertical position, all contents of the bag can be accessed without placing the bag on a flat surface. In addition, the Ultimate Organizer has compartments which can accommodate a pad, pen, credit cards, cell phone, pager, cosmetics and/or other items. The prior art '502 handbag does not have such compartments. Further, the '502 bag's change purse can only be accessed after the bag is placed on a flat surface, the bag is almost fully unzipped, the inner purse is further unzipped or the compartment is opened, and the user gropes for change inside either the zippered purse or the compartments located on the inner walls. The same holds true for locating a key or keys. The Ultimate Organizer, however, allows the user with one motion to easily and quickly access change without unzipping the bag or its compartments or lying the bag flat. The change can be accessed while the bag is worn in a vertical position (therefore requiring no surface to lay the bag on), and the same ease of access is true for locating keys.

[0004] U.S. Pat. No. 2,466,208: This prior art describes an apron bag. First, the '208 apron bag must be worn around the waist. Unlike the Ultimate Organizer, it cannot be used on the back of a user, moved under either arm of a user or be worn over or across the shoulder. The '208 apron bag only has two outside panels with no additional depth of pouches, unlike the Ultimate Organizer. The '208 apron bag opens in a 180-degree arc. In order to keep the bag from flopping closed while the user is walking, the '208 patent recommends “strapping it to the user's leg!” This is impractical. On the other hand, the Ultimate Organizer has an interior flap which automatically flips up or down to accommodate the zipping or unzipping of the outer walls and enables the user to wear the bag under or over the arm without having to “strap it” to a body part. The Ultimate Organizer can also remain in a vertical position and does not have to be laid flat to access the items stored in its compartments. The '208 apron bag has essentially two walls and no further interior compartments, while the Ultimate Organizer has two sections with further compartments which make accessibility easier while the user is sitting or standing.

[0005] U.S. Pat. No. 4,154,275: This prior art “handbag” is a top opening handbag with essentially one interior compartment and some exterior attachments, such as a watch and change purse. This '275 “handbag” cannot be worn on the back and cannot be swiveled under either arm. It requires a user to pull out the change purse, open the change purse, and then locate the change. The Ultimate Organizer, while it is worn under either the left or the right arm, enables the user to access change without pulling out a change purse from the bag and without taking the bag off the shoulder. The user simply reaches into the change pouch located near the top of the two interior walls where they meet with a non-zipped side wall and accesses the change with one motion. The same is true for the attached stretch key ring holder. Further, because the Ultimate Organizer has three interior chambers, only one of which is the zipped outer chamber with compartments, it will store more items which can be accessed readily from the top of or unzipped side of the bag as a result of such compartmentalization.

[0006] U.S. Pat. No. 2,631,632: The '632 prior art travel kit cannot be worn on the back and swiveled under the right or left arm or be worn across the shoulder. It must be laid on a surface to access the items in its compartments, unlike the Ultimate Organizer, which can be worn without interfering with the unzipping of the outer wall which contains personalized compartments. Further, the Ultimate Organizer has two chambers in addition to the zipped chamber containing the compartments and has a flap connecting the outer zipped wall to an interior wall so that compartmentalized items can be accessed from the top or side of the bag after the bag is unzipped.

[0007] U.S. Pat. No. 380,416: This reference features a handbag with a one-piece strap that requires the user to remove the bag and place it on a surface before the user can gain access to the items contained therein from the top of the bag. The '416 handbag cannot be worn on the back and swiveled under the left or right arm and worn while obtaining access to items inside the bag. Further, the '416 handbag has multiple openings accessed from the top, but does not have personalized compartments to keep needed items in place or accessed immediately through the unzipped side or top of the bag. It also does not have the sewn-in one motion accessible change purse or key chain.

[0008] U.S. Pat. No. 2,413,465: This prior art “Handbag” requires that the user remove his arm from under the bag and place it on a flat surface to access the items in the compartments. The Ultimate Organizer, however, can be worn on the back and swiveled under the left or right arm or slung over or across the shoulder. The Ultimate Organizer enables the user to wear the bag without interfering with the side unzipping of the bag which permits easy access to needed items in the personalized compartments.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0009] This invention relates to a handbag/shoulderbag or the like wherein all its components are made of durable materials. The inventive handbag/shoulderbag or the like has an adjustable circular strap construction, which enables a user to wear it over the shoulder, under the arm, or on the back. With the touch of a finger, the bag moves from the back to under the right or left arm, depending on whether the user is right or left handed. With one motion, the bag moves into place for maximum accessibility (from the unzipped side or top of the bag) to the items contained in the individual compartments that are located inside the zipped walls which open approximately at a 45 or greater degree arc.

[0010] Once the bag is shifted under the arm of choice, which the user can do from either a standing or sitting position, the user, with one motion, can instantly access items due to the bag's side and bottom construction. The outside or front wall of the bag unzips at the point at which it engages a side wall. This opens the bag to a 45 degree or greater angle position. The front wall of the bag is connected to the bottom wall of the bag by a triangular flap that holds items inside the bag regardless of whether the bag is zipped or unzipped. Once the outside wall of the bag is unzipped or by reaching into the top of the bag, the user, with one motion, can access such things as a pad, pen, cosmetics, cell phone, credit cards, wallet, or other items, which are contained in individual compartments located inside or outside of the bag on the front or other walls and/or on the interior bag walls.

[0011] In addition to the outside zipped wall, the bag contains interior pockets (hereafter “the pockets”) and storage areas. Therefore, when the user is wearing the bag either under the arm or over the shoulder, or across the shoulder, the user with one motion can reach, stretch and unlock any key hole using his key ring which is attached to a rubberized or elasticized key chain (or other coiled device) which is attached to a loop and ring arrangement on an inside wall of the bag. Thus, the user needs only to place his finger inside a pocket or storage area to instantly locate his key.

[0012] Furthermore, while the bag is under either arm or over the shoulder, the user in one motion, can quickly, easily and effortlessly access change with one or more fingers from a pouch sewn-in an uppermost corner of the bag between two interior walls without opening any closures. The pouch can be placed in any other strategic place in the bag for easy access.

[0013] No other bag prior to the inventive one described below contains all the features necessary for one motion accessibility to such items as a wallet, checks, pad, pens, coins, keys, credit cards, cosmetics, cell phone, pager, etc. In summary, the salient features of the Ultimate Organizer bag are (a) an adjustable circular one piece strap that enables the user to carry the bag on his back and, with one touch, swivel the bag under either the left or right arm from a standing or sitting position to obtain access to the contents of the bag, (b) a zipped front, side and bottom wall which enables the user from the top side of the bag to access the contents of the bag from compartments while the bag is being worn by a user and (c) a magnetic or other closure which locks the zippered walls together and, when locked, permits a user to gain access to any compartmentalized items from the top or side of the bag with one easy motion.

[0014] This adjustable circular strap, which loops through rings mounted on top of the walls of the bag, in conjunction with the side and bottom unzipping of the bag and the magnetic or other wall closure, enables the user to immediately access important items stored in individual compartments such as change, keys, pager, pen and other items.

[0015] The strategic placement of the rings atop the bag walls enables an adjustable circular strap to easily loop through the rings, enables the bag to be unzipped at a 45 degree or greater angle on the side of the bag, and lets a user access from the top or side of the bag the contents of compartments located inside the zipped walls of the bag while the bag is being worn in a vertical position on the user or elsewhere. Also, because of the strategic placement of the rings atop the bag walls, a user can wear the bag on his back while his hands are free. Then, with one motion, the user can swivel the bag under the left or right arm. Finally, the elasticized pouch, key chain and transparent container permit immediate access to a comb, makeup coin change, keys and other items.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 1, the first side wall 90 contains a male and female zipper attachment 93 and 94 respectively. This zipper attachment 93, 94 extends from the top of the first side wall 90 to and along the bottom wall 500 up to the second side wall 80, such that when the zipper is unzipped, the front wall 100 of the bag is in an open position with respect to the second interior wall 400 and forms approximately a 45 or greater degree angle with the second interior wall 400. When the zipper is unzipped, as shown in FIG. 1, a triangular flap 503, which is attached on one end 504 to the bottom wall 500 adjacent the bottom of front wall face 102 and on the other end 505 to the bottom wall 500 adjacent the bottom of second interior wall face 401, forms a portion of the bottom wall 500 of the bag 10 between the front and second interior walls 100, 400.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 1, attached to the top of back wall 200 of the bag is a first loop 203. This first loop 203 is positioned adjacent the second side wall 80 of the bag. Also attached to the top of the back wall 200 of the bag is a second loop 204. This second loop 204 is positioned adjacent the first side wall 90 of the bag. Each loop 203, 204 is made from a strong, flexible material. Attached to the top of the second interior wall 400 of the bag is a third loop 403.

This fourth loop 404 is positioned adjacent the first side wall 90 of the bag. Each loop 403, 404 is made from a strong, flexible material. The first and third loops 203, 403 are positioned on the bag so that they are approximately the same distance from the second side wall 80 of the bag. Likewise, the second and fourth loops 204, 404 are positioned on the bag so that they are approximately the same distance from the first side wall 90 of the bag. The first and third loops 203, 403, as well as the second and fourth loops 204, 404, are positioned such that they are in alignment with one another. Connected to the first loop 203 is a first ring 205 which may be made from a metal, plastic, fabric or the like. Similarly, second, third and fourth rings 206, 405, and 406 respectively are connected to second, third and fourth loops 204, 403, 404 respectively and may be made from the same type of material as first ring 205. An adjustable, circular strap 70, shown in FIG. 1, is fitted within each of the four rings 205, 206, 405 and 406. The circular strap 70 contains a buckle 800 so that the strap can be made adjustable, i.e. longer or shorter as the user desires.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 9, a coin pouch 50 is sewn between the first interior and back walls 300, 200 respectively onto the top of the sixth face 92 of first side wall 90 of the bag. This pouch 50 may be made from any suitable material and is capable of containing coins. At the top of the pouch 50 facing the outside of the bag, is an elasticized section 51 which is normally in a closed position and prevents any coins therein from falling out of the pouch. When coins are placed into the pouch 50, they may be retrieved by a user placing his fingers into the elastic section 51 of the pouch 50 and pulling the coins out therefrom. Also shown in FIG. 9 is a zipped pocket 806 sewn onto fourth face 202 of back wall 200.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 9, attached to the tenth face 82 of the second side wall 80 between the first interior and back walls 300, 200 respectively is a fifth loop 600. As shown in FIG. 3, connected to fifth loop 600 is fifth ring 601. Connected to fifth ring 601 is a clip 605 which contains a hole 609 through which ring 601 fits through. Attached to clip 605 is an elasticized cord 602. Cord 602 may be made from a rubberized and/or other suitable material that compresses or lengthens as needed. Clip 605 is attached to cord 602 at one end and a corresponding clip 606 is attached to cord 602 on its other end. Clip 606 also contains a hole 610 through which a sixth ring 607 fits. Sixth ring 607 is a key ring and may contain any number of keys 608.

The male and female zipper arrangement 93, 94 is shown in a closed position, such that first side wall 90 extends from the front to back walls 100, 200 of bag 10. The pager and transparent pouch loops 700, 900 are shown without the connecting attachments shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.

[0040]FIG. 5 illustrates an alternative embodiment of FIGS. 1-4. In FIG. 5, the cell phone 107 is shown as being housed on the outside portion of bag 10 in pocket 805, which is attached to the ninth face 81 of second side wall 80. In FIGS. 2 and 3, however, the cell phone 107 is shown as being located within pocket 106 located on the inside portion of bag 10 on either the second face 102 of front wall 100 or thirteenth face 401 of second interior wall 400.

[0041]FIG. 6 illustrates a rear view of bag 10 and shows the zipped pocket 806 attached to fourth face 202 of back wall 200. Pocket 806 is located on the upper part of fourth face 202 nearly equidistant from first and second walls 90, 80.

[0042]FIG. 7 illustrates the inventive bag 10 from a bottom perspective when the zipper arrangement 93, 94 is unzipped. Eleventh face 501 of bottom wall 500 is shown in FIG. 7. FIG. 8 illustrates the inventive bag from a top view. Twelfth face 502 of bottom wall 500 is shown. Similarly, sixth face 92 of first side wall 90, tenth face 82 of second side wall 80 and seventh face 301 of first interior wall 300 are shown in FIG. 8.

[0043]FIG. 1A discloses the inserts to be incorporated within the inventive Ultimate Organizer bag. FIG. 1A illustrates a first insert 2000 which is sewn into or inside two edges of flap 503, which begin at ends 504 and 505 of bottom wall 500 adjacent faces 102 and 401 respectively and end at the intersection of these edges adjacent second side wall 80. First insert 2000, as shown in FIG. 10, contains two arms 2001 and 2002 which are attached mechanically by a rivet 2004 secured within indentation 2003 so that both arms 2001 and 2002 pivot around rivet 2004.

[0044]FIG. 1A also discloses a second insert 3000 which is hinged and also sewn into or inside flap 503 between ends 504 and 505 of bottom wall 500 adjacent faces 102 and 401 respectively. As further shown in FIG. 11A, hinged second insert 3000 contains two arms, 3001 and 3002, which mechanically join at spring hinge 3003. Spring hinge 3003 permits second insert arms 3001 and 3002 to be in a position between 0, 90 or 180 degrees depending on the user's needs. FIG. 11A shows the hinged second insert in a 180 degree position while FIG. 11B discloses the hinged second insert in a 90 degree position.

[0045]FIG. 1A further discloses a third insert 1000. As shown in FIG. 12, third insert rigid arms 1001 and 1002 are attached to flexible side 1003 by attachments 1004 and 1005. As further shown in FIG. 12, third insert rigid arms 1001 and 1002 pivot around flexible side 1003 so that the third insert 1000 can extend or contract to a position between 0 and 180 degrees. Third insert arm 1002 is sewn into or inside the top of face 102 of bag 10 while third insert rigid arm 1001 is sewn into or inside face 401 adjacent top edge 404 as shown in FIG. 1A.

[0046]FIG. 13A shows an alternative strap arrangement 5000 wherein the length of strap 70, shown in FIG. 1A, is varied by means of slides 5002 and 5001 shown in FIG. 13A in place of buckle 800 shown in FIG. 1A. When the slides 5002 and 5001 are close together as shown in FIG. 13A, then strap 70 is at its longest length. When slides 5002 and 5001 are further apart, as shown in FIG. 13B, then strap 70 is at its shortest length. This strap adjustment through slides 5002 and 5001 allows the user to fit the inventive bag around the user's body no matter the size of the user.

[0047] The function of the first, second and third inserts 2000, 3000 and 1000 collectively is (a) to permit the front wall 100 of bag 10 to remain in an open position without collapsing (for example at a 90 degree angle) with respect to said second interior wall 400 for as long as the user desires not to zip the bag 10, (b) to provide adequate support for flap 503 and the front and second interior walls 100 and 400 respectively when the bag is zipped or unzipped and (c) to enable the front and second interior walls 100 and 400 respectively to collapse when required so that the bag 10 may be easily zipped shut if so desired by the user. Although the function of the first, second and third inserts 2000, 3000 and 1000 collectively is as stated above, these same functions are also provided to some extent by the use of any one insert alone and/or any combination of said inserts within bag 10.
